    My main WTF is WHO TF in their right mind watches these streams?

    Here's a different one, for the times we are in, from Liverpool.


    The first pilot gig without masks, post covid, to see what happens


    Here's to better times.

    There were two of those, there was also an outdoor event in Sefton Park for five thousand people. Hopefully there is little/no new cases through transmission over this and things can open up a bit more.

    If nothing else it prove one way or another whether social distancing & masks really did help or not. Assuming the testing was imperfect.

    Yeah, the real WTF is that we're gone nearly 18 months in a surreal 1984 world that even George Orwell couldn't have imagined.

    I've had surströmming, and it wasn't bad. Thankfully it was prepared outside by someone else!

    Thre are a lot of foods out there that you wouldn't touch with a bargepole if you saw it being prepared.


    But some will eat anything if is smells nice!

    The grilled cow udder (The argentinian entry) is available in The Netherlands as wel.
    But sold under a name that doesnt make you instantly think about what part of the cow you are actually eating.

    You dont have to be in a hurry to eat it either because it takes about 4 hours from raw to edible.

    And that is how it looks on a sandwich.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,468 ✭✭✭KevRossi


    That's either a very big sandwich or a very small pint of Guinness.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 20,862 Mod ✭✭✭✭inforfun


    Big sandwich. There is a reason why we are all so tall :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,879 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    Does cow udder taste milky?

    I had it a few times ages ago. Doesnt taste of much to be honest.
    It is one of those things that used to be poor people food 100 years ago and now is "niche" i guess. Still cheap though at €4 a kilo
    Raw herring used to be poor people's food too but is now rather expensive though. But at least that i m prepared to kill for.

    I had cured cow's tongue fairly regularly while growing up, since I was moved to South Africa when I was almost 7. I remember it being really nice thinly sliced on sandwiches with mustard etc. It didn't look or feel like a tongue as such. Years later I was surprised to find that people hadn't heard of it and went "ew" if I mentioned it. :P

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    cows tongue would have been fairly common in ireland up to 30 years ago. I would be surprised if FX Buckleys on Moore St didn't still sell it.

    Sliced Ox Tongue is regularly available in the deli section in M&S. It actually looks like it’d be quite nice on a sandwich, but I just can’t bring myself to try it. I know, I know, silly to be so squeamish!!

    I remember spare ribs being the stuff you got off the butcher for the dog - not nowadays

    The wife is from Sardinia and I've been visiting there for over twenty years. I've had sheep's brain for Christmas dinner but so far I've managed to steer clear of the Casu Marzu ("rotten cheese"). You'd have to wonder what size balls were on the first guy who decided to eat it. He must have been starving...



  • Registered Users Posts: 17,467 ✭✭✭✭fritzelly


    I just got sick

    Thought you were adventurous! It actually quite nice, tender and has a lovely flavor. Never noticed it must pick up some to try. Haven't actually had since I was a child bar once in a restaurant a few years ago.

    We had it over Christmas most years when I was young usually just as cold cuts for teatime. It's not the most appetizing looking cut before it is cooked and peeling the skin off after is certainly is not a job for the squeamish.

    Apparently we sell 30 tonnes of them to Japan every month.
